What's the oldest movie you've watched, /tv/?
>>63242654
A Trip To The Moon, and I guarantee a lot of anons have the same answer.
>>63242676
Yep, probably should have said besides that.
metropolis, pre restoration cut
A Tale of Two Cities 1935
Great film, everyone should watch it.
Seven Samurai
Terror of Tiny Town (1939), fucked me up for days
Second-oldest, The Wages of Fear (1953), holy fucking shit... even to this day it's suspenseful as fuck
I just watched Electrocuting an Elephant (1903)

Things to Come (1936)
fucking shocking how well it aged
>>63242814
And it all started with some guy who wanted to prove that all four hooves come off the ground during a gallop.
>>63242714
dis
>>63242814
that's a vitascope not a movie
>>63242863

Thousands of years to figure out how horses gallop.

They had to put it down and that was the method they chose:
>Topsy the Elephant belonged to the Forepaugh Circus and spent the last years of her life at Coney Island's Luna Park. Because she killed one trainer (who burned her trunk with a lit cigar), and subsequently became aggressive towards two other keepers who had struck her with a pitchfork, Topsy was deemed a threat to people by her owners and killed by electrocution on January 4, 1903 at the age of 36.
>Inventor Thomas Edison oversaw and conducted the electrocution, and he captured the event on film. Edison used the film in his campaign against George Westinghouse and AC technology.
>Initially, Topsy was supposed to be hanged, but other ways were considered when the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals protested. Edison then suggested electrocution with alternating current, which had been used for the execution of humans since 1890. Topsy was fed carrots laced with 460 grams of potassium cyanide before the deadly current from a 6,600-volt AC source was sent coursing through her body, partly as a demonstration of how "unsafe" his competitor's (George Westinghouse) alternating current design was. The event was originally witnessed by an estimated 1,500 people.
>On July 20, 2003, a memorial for Topsy was erected at the Coney Island Museum.

Motion Picture, Movie, Cinema, Vitascope

Oldest Feature Length Movie I eatched would probably be The Great Train Robbery or A Trip to the Moon.
birth of a nation.
>>63242887
About a little over 231 years
>>63242904
i have hooves, greg
can you gallop me
metropolis
citizen kane
double indemnity
the third man
>>63242654
Probably Nosferatu 1922.
Oldest movie I've watched and enjoyed enough to watch again is probably Arsenic and Old Lace 1944
>>63242915
>The Great Train Robbery
>running time: 12 mins
>A Trip to the Moon
>running time: 18 mins
>feature length
Was forced to watch The Godfather, fell asleep during the never ending wedding
No wonder old people die all the time, from fucking boring ass movies
That flick about the train. Where the train passes over the camera.
I'd give it a 2/10
>>63242654
does stuff like "Workers Leaving the Lumiere Factory" count?
>>63242770
L'arrivée d'un train à La Ciotat is from 1895. Son you just got cvcked.
Here you go. Now you can all watch one of the earliest surviving films.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaO_H2cUh60
>mfw I actually had interesting lectures about early films like these.
Aside from short little camera tests like the garden party, the train, or the workers and A Trip to the Moon I think the oldest thing is The Kid.
>>63242975
Let's limit it to feature length, more than 60 minutes at least, I mean everyone has probably seen Trip to the Moon, not exactly a feat
The Haunted Castle from 1896. Probably the world's first "horror" film.
>>63242996
The Birth of a Nation
>>63242979
18fps>24fps>>>>>>>>>>>>>60fps
>>63242979
GOD DAMN IT ANON WARN A NIGGA!
I thought that train was going to fucking hit me!
>>63243038kek
>>63242996
Feature-length meant something different back in the day.
By limiting it to 60 min or more that limits it to pictures starting from the mid 30's or so.
But oldest flicks with runtimes of 60 minutes or more I watched are probably Birth of a Nation, Intolerance, the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Broken Blossoms, Metropolis, M, and King Kong.
Also classic Charlie Chaplin, Fatty Arbuckle and Harry Lloyd films that I don't remember the names of.
>>63243038
I wonder if that was a myth or if people actually had that reaction
>>63242654
Nosferatu
>>63242908
>hanging an elephant
Probably Vertigo
it was shit
>>63243204
I've thought about that. It's the reaction everyone is having to VR right now. I imagine that's going to make as little sense to people in a few decades once the novelty wears off.

I've seen a presentation of Emile Reynaud's Pauvre Pierrot at the Louvre Auditorium last year. It's 1892
>>63242654
Wizard of oz
>>63242892
The horse is the protagonist you zoophobe.
>>63242654
I saw a Charlie Chaplain movie in highschool. He was hanging out at some remote cabin in the snow.
different experimental/dada films from the 1910s and 20s
>>63243315
It was pretty much so he could say "look how dangerous alternating current is! Don't trust it, invest in my direct current instead!"
>>63243566
Little did he know fat she would receive the opposite reaction because people jumped onto alternating current since it was powerful enough to kill an elephant.
>>63242761
>The Wages of Fear
My nigga. I saw that by accident at 3 in the morning and was captivated. One of the best films ever made.
Employees Leaving the Lumière Factory from 1885
wizard of oz

>>63242814
the horse thing is actually a series of photos
this is the oldest thing shot on film

Stalag 17 desu, great film
i remember when i thought being patrician meant you had to watch a bunch of boring as fuck old movies so i willingly watched Battleship Potemkin
>>63242654
"A Trip to the Moon" you nigger
but my first talky is probably "Freaks"
>>63242855
There are a few things from the late 20 up to ww2 that hold up surprisingly well. i can't recall the name but a few years ago i watched a comedy from 1929 or something that was so sharp and witty and real feeling that it could have been written any time up to the 90s.
This stupid threads now keeps popping up everyday.
The only reasonable thing would be everybody saying Roundhay. I mean, what else should happen here? Is somehow amusing when some swine says his oldest is from 1935, or 1928 or 19fucking53?
I don't watch anything before 1986
The Matrix39 Steps really
>>63242878
/vitascope/ when?
>no mention of ned kelly
>>63246316
Things seemed a lot more chill before the war, did the depression or ww2 cause some sort of puritanical revival in america or what?

>In 2007, The Story of the Kelly Gang (1906) was inscribed on the UNESCO Memory of the World Register for being the world's first full-length narrative feature film

Hard times generally make people much more conservative. When shit hits the fan "anything goes" isn't a very popular policy.
>>63247067
I'm glad you're happy with your thread. Don't forget, same time tomorrow.

The Great Train Robbery
It was 'M' for a while, actually helped me define what some of my morals are.
Then it was "Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" which was fine.
Finally, a "Trip to the Moon" which was some trippy shit
The Kid by Charlie Chaplin from 1921.
>>63243450
The Gold Rush (1925)
>>63248331
Whoops. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is one year earlier (1920).
Lumière films, tbqhwy senpai
>>63242654
I don't remember the names but I have watched most/all of the "first movies" because I took a film class one year for shits and giggles.

definitely underrated. It's my favorite of his besides maybe Red Desert
>>63246799
The Hays code (1930-1954) severely limited what films could show. Could be the result of some resurgence of conservatism, but the regulations are the most direct cause.
Gojira(1954)
